nature and environment
Only in the localities of Linneper Hütte, Linnepe, Westenfeld and Sundern has Linnepe been greatly changed by man. There it flows partly like a channel, with the banks partly strongly fortified. There is no drinking water supply from the Linnepe.
For the management plan for the Water Framework Directive of the EU and the Linnepe commissioned by the Ministry for the Environment, Agriculture and Consumer Protection of North Rhine-Westphalia (MUNLV) was investigated. The Linnepe in its entirety was classified as natural despite building structures in the location. The general degradation and saprobism were rated as good. In animals and plants, these classifications were made, in macrozoobenthos , small organisms living on the bottom of the water, as good, in macrophytes , aquatic plants visible to the naked eye that live under and on the water surface, including chandelier algae , mosses and ferns and seed plants such as spawning herbs as good, and in phytobenthos , plants living on the bottom of the water, mainly algae, as moderate. The fish fauna was rated as good. With regard to the pollution of the Linnepe with nitrate , metals and other substances that may pollute the water, it was classified as good to very good. The chemical condition was rated as good. Because of the construction in the local areas, the ecological condition and the potential for improvement were only classified as moderate.
So far, kingfisher , dipper , gray wagtail and mallard have been identified as breeding birds on the Linnepe . Herons and black storks appear as food guests . The muskrat has been found on the river for years. The brown rat occurs in the local area of Sundern .
